| The ending with them returning to the city was heart wrenching. The little boy who resembled how Eren once was, a glimmer of hope in a sea of doubts and ridicule from those who couldn't understand what the Survey Corps went through. I teared up once Petra's father walked up to Levi. I wonder if Petra and Levi were lovers, since the dad brought up marriage. That would make it all the harder for Levi. And despite Erwin's stoic and stone cold expressions, I think he's suffering immensely as well, since all of this is put on his shoulders. Very powerful episode, the preview looks intriguing. |

| Was that Petra's corpse they chucked? heh. I like how the kid in the end said they got their ass whopped. |

| the end was so sad !!! |
 |
| I'm going to say it: I loved this episode. Ep. 21 aside from the decimation of Levi's squad did very little for me but this... gah, excuse me while I go nosebleed over the after battle shock and horror and tears. The reactions are what this anime is all about for me. Erwin and Levi's contrasting outer stone faced veneer was the perfect backdrop for the younger soldiers' anguish. Phew, okay, I'm done babbling :P Oh damn, is Eren's life in danger again? Armin to the rescue? Can't wait for next week :) |
| WOW Levi is so bloody fast the Female Titan didn't even have a chance to crystallize her skin. A very sad episode seeing dead bodies being discarded and at the end with Petra's dad talking to Levi when they arrived back not knowing that she is dead. Only 3 episodes left to go. |

| Wow...just...wow.Okay, after watching this episode and everything leading up to this point( how they basically set out on this journey to acquire information and possibly even capture that female titan) and how everything was an epic failure,I have to say that's pretty depressing. A lot of people died on the mission (Levi's team were obliterated!) and they all died in vain.It was like somebody took the last few scraps of humanity's hope and bludgeoned it into a bloody pulp of 'nothing-ness'. This a really sad but good episode.I liked the way how it focused more on the characters emotions and attitudes.Shingeki no Kyojin def has it's psychological moments and I really like that. |
 |
| It was so sad. T^T That dude I understand he cares about his friend but he just caused more trouble. Now instead of having a lot of bodies to bury they have none. And Petra rolling... the feels. ;-; And Levis reaction to that. More feels. ;-; I feel bad for the dad when he finds out Petra's dead. He looked so happy. Oh not to forget. Levi action, gosh he's amazing just cutting the Female Titan up like she was nothing. :3 Amazing as usual. |
 |
| Man this episode really hit me hard...would have never guess there was filler in this episode until I read about it here. |

| Great episode. Levi slashing the the Female Titan was awesome. I feel bad for both Erwin and Levi, and that dude Dieter was really annoying. |
| Holy! Levi was too damn fast. Sucks he got injured =.= Gifs here i come |
| Perfect episode. Best episode since the 1st. |
 |
| Wow... such a sad ep :( Can't beleive they dumped Petra's body :( I wonder what levi is gonna tell her dad. |

MFK said: Perfect episode. Best episode since the 1st. I seriously don't know if I want to agree with you or not on this one. I personally agree that this is a perfect episode, but being the best since the 1st one is just a struggle for me to consider. If I would argue that SnK is brilliant, I would pitch this episode in. Not 5, 7, 13, 17 or 21. I dunno, this episode is just the most humane for every single character in this episode, whether it were the citizens, Dieter, Levi or whatever. You could understand why every single one of them felt that way, and you know why they're going through this phase. Not one emotion was 'wrong' or out of place in this episode. |
| I wouldn't really say this is a filler episode, per say. It just takes what was presented in the manga and takes it up a notch by delving deeper into the aftermath. Given the style of the manga, that many pages of dialogue, etc. would never really work :-/ I personally think this episode of the anime handled the human aspect of the disaster that was the scouting mission a lot better than the manga did. It shows how it would impact the members of the scouting legion... something that was almost completely left out of the manga. If SnK lost the realism and human aspect of the events going on in the series, it would be dragged into the depths of mreh land. While the action sequences are great, you need more than that for something that is truly special. |
| Wow, Levi was trying to keep Petra's badge. Her father mention potential marriage. Do Levi and Petra have special feeling for each other? Then, she died in Vain with rest of her friends. This just make her death so much more tragic. |

While the action sequences are great, you need more than that for something that is truly special. Agreed with this assessment. While I do love me some serious grappling hooking, dual slashing fun and some serious titan MMA, I would only be watching those parts if not for everything else. Mind you people, this is no filler episode. Just a number of moments that caught the manga readers off guard. |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
| Eren rushes in to fight and needs to be rescued. LOL What a noob! Worst MC ever! Why he is so hot headed!? Mikasa rushes in to fight against orders and nearly gets herself killed but Levi saves her ass but gets himself injured because of her. Mikasa so cool! Why is she so awesome!!! Yandere/10! Best character ever!! |

| Levi FTW this episode. He owned the shit out of that titan so bad it wasn't even funny. Even though they were unable to kill it, it was still nice to see it take a beating and it couldn't even crystallize because Levi was so damn fast. I'm pretty sure Mikasa will look at Levi differently now. |

I think Eren did slow the Female titan down a lot, Levi noted she was much slower than before. Ragna92 said: Levi FTW this episode. He owned the shit out of that titan so bad it wasn't even funny.

I'm pretty sure Mikasa will look at Levi differently now. Well Levi did save her love, so I suppose she doesn't hate him anymore. The facial expressions at the start of this episode were funny, Mikasa's rage face at Eren being taken, and then Levi's face when he stabbed the Female Titan in the eyes. |
| What a heartbreaking episode. It was so fucking sad. |
| Me while watching this episode: Dem feels man. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| last week some people says that levi is too much overrated.. well its overrated for a reason.. |
 |
| Heichouuuu!! man, If it weren't for Levi, Mikasa would be another one of those bodies and Eren would be gone. Good job, Mikasa... getting humanity's strongest soldier injured... he looked so frustrated that he can't fight those titans (but at least he can still walk...). This entire ep was full of heichou feels, goddammit.. And they just had to show everyone's families waiting for them?? Like Petra's dad wasn't bad enough .__. This world is beautiful and cruel. |

| I dont care if it's a filler ep WELL IT'S STILL AWESOME. This episode is OBVIOUSLY FULL OF FEELS. Attack on feels uh. What hurts me the most is when seeing these scene:   YEAH I AM DONE WITH THOSE. Petra's dad....Levi's face..... I'm ded. What an emotional episode. And when seeing scenes where the families of the dead are waiting for them to come back home... ;____; Found this on tumblr anD WOW MY GLOOMY SUNDAY  .....ye. |
| Ahh Levi's face...... |
| Not a bad episode, but that last one raised my expectations quite a bit, so it was a bit of let down. Of course, the previous episode would be damn near impossible to follow, so I don't blame them. However, Levi seems a bit too overpowered to my liking. I understand that he's supposed to be the strongest fighter, but being able to take on the Fem Titan solo without so much a scratch (aside from the leg injury from having to save Mikasa) is ridiculous. |
| I cried. I cried through most of the episode. But I especially cried when Levi gave away Petra's crest. This damn show. |
| Petra Peeetraaa |
OMG it's SHIRLEY  |
| When I hear that there will be fillers in anime that follows manga I usually dread them, but producers did great job with this. |
 |
| Seriously they outdid themselves by adding the filler material for this episode, made it alot more emotional, props to the director. All that's left is the last stretch for this season, expecting crazy sakuga for the next few episodes ^^ |

It doesn't change the fact that I find him a bit too perfect, but it does tone it down somewhat. |
| Why was the female titan crying? |
| this show is killing me... |

It doesn't change the fact that I find him a bit too perfect, but it does tone it down somewhat. Also remember that the reason why it looked like Levi 'pwned' the FT was because his main objective wasn't to kill the FT, only to seriously damage her and retrieve Eren. Anymore than that and either Mikasa or Levi will end up dead because the FT will still regenerate. |
| WHEN PETRA'S BODY HAD TO BE THROWN OUT ಥ_ಥ AND HER EMBARRASSED FATHER ALL HAPPY ಥ_ಥ JUST NO, OKAY ಥ_ಥ NO ಥ_ಥ |
Anim3LOVER said: Mikasa x Levi 4ever :D Too bad she was holding Eren's hand at the end then........... |
| great episode as always, quite sad |
 |
| Anyone feel bad for Erwin since he's considered public enemy number 1 and how he has to send in so many of his soldier's knowing that a good chunk of them will die. Btw for manga readers what chapter do you think the anime's going to end? |
 |
| It was a good and understandable filler. This way the series will end at chapter 34. I think they calculated this from the start. Pretty well done I must say. |
| Levi is a killing machine :o Now they know how it feels like to be in the Scouting legion. |
